Phish Cap Off New Year’s Run With New Song, Pirate Ship Gag

After distributing cosmic, LED wristbands with a cryptic, space-themed message, Phish subverted expectations when they transformed the stage at Madison Square Garden not into a space ship, but rather into an intergalactic pirate ship.

As their fellow space pirates adjusted the sails, the S.S. Phish rang in the new year with “Soul Planet,” a live debut for the band. Trey Anastasio Band had played the track four times prior in late 2017, most recently as an encore in Oakland on 11/4/2017. (Trey also played the song during an acoustic solo performance on 11/2/2017.)

Keeping the theme Phishy, a custom Jolly Roger flag flew above the band, cannons were shot into the crowd by buccaneers with names like Hood and McGrupp, and set three contained mostly water-themed songs. Following the traditional “Auld Lang Syne,” tracks like “Free,” “A Song I Heard The Ocean Sing” and “Prince Caspian” were chosen for their specifically aquatic nature. The band encored with longtime cover “Loving Cup.”

Highlights from earlier in the night include a particularly funky section of “You Enjoy Myself,” where Trey put his guitar down and danced. The band also chose an atypical show opener of “Carini”>“Suzy Greenberg”>“My Friend, My Friend” before an extended set two jam of “Fuego”>“Gotta Jibboo”>“Golgi Apparatus”>“What’s The Use?”>“You Enjoy Myself.”

There are currently no additional Phish tour dates announced.

I’ve been looking around my computer for pics of food; they’re here, but where?
Could you post the recipe in the Recipe folder in Creative/Cosmic? It’s pretty bare in there.
I have the Time-Life cookbooks, got them new as they came out. What a trip that was when they’d come in the mail and I’d get lost in the pictures and tales. The recipe books are in my kitchen and I use them, but I’m not sure where the picture books are.
